Variety keeps anglers guessing


Rancho Leonero Resort, East Cape BCS, Mexico​

A report right from the source:
The week of April 26-May 3​

Water – 77- 82°
Air – Low 90's

The Environment:

An inconvenient swell -- most likely a weather front from up norte had inconvenient swells breaking right on the Rancho Leonero beach. This made for some tricky launching mid-week. It even prevented the bait boat from launching one morning. However, all was back to normal by the weekend.

The Bottom Line:

A 7.5 on a “1-10” scale!

Marlin– Praise be the striped marlin! The bite remains strong. These are good-sized fish and vigorous fighters. Most stripers are being hooked just 3 to 6 miles off the beach. Just like last week, rigged ballyhoo was the most successful. Live caballito are a good choice when pitched to tailing fish. Go get ‘em.

Dorado– Our early season dorado (or mahi-mahi) blitz continued. The bay past the Lighthouse (Rincon) is still producing the most fish. Rigged ballyhoo is the preferred bait. The fish were slightly bigger than last week, with the largest right around 30 pounds.


Roosterfish and more–While fishing dorado in the Rincon area, most anglers gave the roosters a try. There are some really big gallo all along the beach. Best was right in front of the houses in the bay. Roosters were 50 pounds and over; all taken on the caballito.


Meanwhile, back at the ranch …

Pompano – Significant action was right in front of Leonero with a memorable pompano bite. Best bet is drifting live caballito and trolling them very slowly. Mixed in with the pompano are some good-sized barred pargo as well as some dorado. Good news for any kayak angler: This is all within an easy paddle!
